ASA. What if the infield fly rule isn't invoked when it should be?

Abel on 2B, Baker on 1B, no outs. Charles hits a popup directly above F1, who says, "I got it." However, the umpires fail to call "infield fly."

Does the erroneous non-call mean that the IFR is not in effect, or would the umpires be able to "correct" the following plays with a "retroactive" IFR call?

A. F1 misses the pop, retrieves the ball, and throws to F5 for the force on Abel.

B. F1 misses the ball but retrieves it and throws to F3 to get Charles. Abel and Baker advance.

C. F1 misses the ball, can't retrieve it in time, and everyone is safe.

D. F1 misses the ball but throws to F5 to put Abel out, and F5 throws to 2B to get Baker.

E. F1 lets the ball drop and then throws to 3B but throws the ball away. Abel scores, Baker to 3B, Charles to 2B.

F. Not hearing the IFR called, Abel and Baker go halfway. F1 catches the ball and throws to 2B to get Abel for having left before the catch.

Would you make some sort of corrective ruling in these plays, or does the non-call of IFR mean that whatever happens simply stands?
